The city is situated in southeastern New Brunswick, in the Petitcodiac River valley about 55 km (34 mi) from the Nova Scotia border. Moncton lies at the geographic center of the Maritime Provinces.

European settlement began in 1733 when Acadian farmers arrived after migrating up the Petitcodiac River from the Bay of Fundy. The region was captured by the English in 1755 and the Acadian inhabitants were subsequently deported.The official founding of the community was in 1766, with the arrival of Pennsylvania "Deutsch" settlers sponsored by the Philadelphia Land Company. The settlement was initially agricultural but by the mid 1800s, a wooden shipbuilding industry flourished. The shipbuilding economy collapsed in the 1860s but was quickly replaced by the railway industry when, in 1871, the Intercolonial Railway of Canada chose Moncton to be their headquarters. Moncton would then remain a railroad town for well over a century.

Moncton was first incorporated in 1855 and was named after Lt. Col. Robert Monckton, the British military commander who had captured nearby Fort Beauséjour a century earlier, and who had later been given responsibility for overseeing the Acadian deportation.^[6] The collapse of the shipbuilding industry caused the town to lose its civic charter in 1862 but the community was able to survive and to reincorporate in 1875 on the strength of the developing railway industry; as a result, it adopted the motto Resurgo. Robert Monckton (24 June 1726 – 21 May 1782) was an officer of the British army and a colonial administrator in British North America. ...

Although Moncton was traumatized twice, by the collapse of the shipbuilding industry in the 1860s and by the closure of the CNR locomotive shops in the 1980s, the city's economy was able to rebound strongly on both occasions. At present, the city's economy is stable and diversified. Moncton's economy is based on its transportation, distribution, retailing and commercial heritage, but is also supplemented by strength in the educational, health care, financial and insurance sectors. The strength of the economy has received national recognition and the local unemployment rate is consistently less than the national average.

Petitcodiac in the Mi'kmaq language has been translated as meaning "bends like a bow". The early Acadian settlers in the region named their community Le Coude which means "the elbow".^[6] Subsequent English immigrants changed the name of the settlement to The Bend of the Petitcodiac. The Mikmaq language (also spelled Míkmaq, Migmaq, and Micmac) is an Eastern Algonquian language spoken by around 7,300 Mikmaq in Canada, and another 1,200 in United States, out of a total ethnic Mikmaq population of roughly 20,000. ...

Moncton lies at the original head of navigation on the Petitcodiac River, however a causeway to Riverview, constructed in 1968, resulted in extensive infilling by sedimentation of the river channel downstream. Because of this, the river in the Moncton area is no longer navigable.^[6] The Petitcodiac River Causeway is a Canadian rock and earth fill causeway crossing the Petitcodiac River in New Brunswick. ...

The Petitcodiac river valley at Moncton (50 kilometres inland) is broad and relatively flat, bounded by a long ridge to the north (Lutes Mountain) and by the rugged Caledonia Highlands to the south.

Climate

Despite being less than 50 km (31 mi) from the Bay of Fundy and less than 30 km (19 mi) from the Northumberland Strait, the climate can seem more continental than maritime during the summer and winter seasons, whereas maritime influences tend to temper the transitional seasons of spring and autumn.^[10] The Bay of Fundy (French: ) is a bay located on the Atlantic coast of North America, on the northeast end of the Gulf of Maine between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with a small portion touching the U.S. state of Maine. ...

Moncton skyline in the summer

Winter days are cold but generally sunny with solar radiation generating some warmth. Daytime high temperatures usually range just below the freezing point. Several cold snaps usually occur each winter when temperatures can fall to between -15 °C (5 °F) and -25 °C (-13 °F). Similarly, there are usually one or two "January thaws" each year when considerable snow melt can occur. Major snowfalls can result from nor'easter ocean storms moving up the east coast of North America, following the jet stream from the southeastern United States.^[11] Large amounts of precipitation can result from the counterclockwise rotation of these storms picking up moisture from the Atlantic Ocean and dumping it on southeastern New Brunswick as the storms pass by to the south and east of the region.^[11] This can be amplified locally by "sea effect" snow squall activity due to northeasterly winds passing over the nearby Gulf of St. Lawrence on the trailing edge of the storm. In February 1992, a nor'Easter lasted for two days and dropped 162 cm (65 inches) of snow on the Moncton area, paralyzing the city for nearly a week. Major snowfalls more typically average 20–30 cm (8–12 in) and are frequently mixed with rain or freezing rain. Image File history File links Nb-moncton. ...

Autumn in Moncton

Spring is frequently delayed because the sea ice that forms in the nearby Gulf of St. Lawrence during the previous winter requires time to melt and this cools the prevailing onshore winds. The ice burden in the gulf however has diminished considerably over the course of the last decade, which may be a consequence of global warming.^[12] The springtime cooling effect has subsequently weakened. Daytime temperatures above freezing are typical by mid March. Occasional snowfalls in late April and early May can happen however and trees are not usually in full leaf until the end of May.^[13] Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 800 × 279 pixelsFull resolution (2288 × 799 pixel, file size: 1. ...

The Gulf of Saint Lawrence, the worlds largest estuary, is the outlet of North Americas Great Lakes via the Saint Lawrence River into the Atlantic Ocean. ...

Summers are hot and humid due to seasonal prevailing westerly winds strengthening the continental tendencies of the local climate.^[10] Daytime highs are usually around 25 °C (77 °F) but can sometimes reach highs of over 30 °C (86 °F). Rainfall is generally modest, especially in late July and August and periods of drought are not uncommon.^[13] The heaviest rainfalls tend to occur during thunderstorms.

Autumn is influenced by the retention of heat in the nearby Gulf of St. Lawrence and daytime temperatures remain mild until mid October.^[10] First snowfalls usually do not occur until mid November and consistent snow cover on the ground does not happen until mid to late December. The Fundy coast of New Brunswick occasionally experiences the effects of post-tropical storms.^[13]

The stormiest weather of the year, with the greatest precipitation and the strongest winds, usually occur during the fall/winter transition (mid December to mid January).^[13]

The head of the Bay of Fundy was first settled by French Acadians in the 1670s.^[14] The first reference to the "Petcoucoyer River" was on the De Meulles map of 1686.^[14] Settlement of the Petitcodiac and Memramcook river valleys began about 1700, gradually extending inland and reaching the site of present day Moncton in 1733. The first Acadian settlers in the Moncton area established a marshland farming community and chose to name their settlement Le Coude (The Elbow)^[15] in reference to the sharp bend of the Petitcodiac River.

The "Great Upheaval" resulted in the expulsion of the Acadian population from Le Coude.

In 1755, Fort Beausejour in nearby Aulac was captured by English forces under the command of Lt. Col. Robert Monckton.^[16] The Petitcodiac and Memramcook river valleys subsequently fell under English occupation. Later that year, Governor Charles Lawrence issued a decree ordering the expulsion of the Acadian population from Nova Scotia. The population of Le Coude was included in the expulsion order but some of the local Acadians were able to escape into the woods and then conducted a guerilla resistance against the English occupiers. This resistance was suppressed by 1758.^[17] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ... Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

In June 1766, Captain John Hall arrived from Pennsylvania^[14] armed with a land grant for 100,000 acres from the Philadelphia Land Company; one of the principal investors of which was Benjamin Franklin. On Captain Hall's ship were eight immigrant Pennsylvania "Deutsch" families who were to re-establish the pre-existing farming community at Le Coude. Although the new settlement was to be formally named Monckton Township, it was more colloquially known as "The Bend of the Petitcodiac", or simply The Bend. This article is about the U.S. State. ... Benjamin Franklin (January 17 [O.S. January 6] 1706 – April 17, 1790) was one of the most well known Founding Fathers of the United States. ...

The Bend grew slowly and the principle economy of the community remained agriculturally based until the early 1800s, when Royal Navy requirements helped to stimulate a lumbering and shipbuilding industry. As shipbuilding gained in importance, The Bend developed a service based economy and gradually began to acquire all the amenities of a growing town. In particular, as the economy strengthened, an important financial institution, the Westmorland Bank, opened and this in turn was able to finance further expansion of the shipbuilding industry.^[6] This article is about the navy of the United Kingdom. ...

The prosperity engendered by the wooden shipbuilding industry allowed The Bend to incorporate as the town of Moncton in 1855. The first mayor of Moncton was the shipbuilder Joseph Salter. The town was named after Lt. Col. Robert Monckton,^[6] the British military commander who had captured Fort Beauséjour a century earlier. A clerical error at the time the town was incorporated resulted in the mis-spelling of the community's name, which has been perpetuated to the present day. Robert Monckton (24 June 1726 – 21 May 1782) was an officer of the British army and a colonial administrator in British North America. ...

Two years later on 20 August 1857 the European and North American Railway opened its line from Moncton to the nearby Northumberland Strait port of Shediac; this was followed by the E&NA's line from Moncton to Sussex and on to Saint John opening in 1859.^[18] is the 232nd day of the year (233rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1857 was a common year starting on Thursday (see link for calendar). ...

At about the same time as the arrival of the railway, steam-powered ships began to replace clipper ships on the ocean's sea routes and this forced an end to the era of wooden shipbuilding. The industrial collapse that developed from this, as well as the associated bankruptcy of the Westmorland Bank caused Moncton to surrender its civic charter in 1862.^[6]

The Intercolonial Railway depot in Moncton

Moncton's economic depression did not last long and a second era of prosperity came to the area in 1871 when Moncton was selected to be the headquarters of the Intercolonial Railway of Canada.^[19] The ICR was a merger of the pre-existing E&NA and the Nova Scotia Railway. In addition, a new route was constructed through northern New Brunswick into Quebec to join with the Grand Trunk Railway at Rivière-du-Loup.

The coming of the ICR to Moncton was a seminal event for the community. For the next 120 years, the history of the city would be inextricably intertwined with that of the railway.

With the arrival of the Intercolonial Railroad; Moncton, in 1875,^[6] was able to reincorporate as a town and adopted the motto "Resurgo" (I rise again). One year later, the ICR line to Quebec was opened. The railway boom that emanated from this and the associated employment growth allowed Moncton to achieve city status on 23 April 1890.^[6] is the 113th day of the year (114th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Moncton's first city market was opened in 1884 and burned to the ground in 1914.

Moncton grew rapidly during the early part of the 20th century, particularly after provincial lobbying saw the city become the eastern terminus of the massive National Transcontinental Railway project in 1912.^[20] This line would link Moncton with Edmundston, Quebec City, and on to Winnipeg where the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway continued to Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Prince Rupert.

In 1918, the ICR and NTR (then autonomous companies grouped under the Canadian Government Railways) were merged by the federal government into the newly formed Canadian National Railways (CNR) system.^[20] The ICR shops would become CNR's major locomotive repair facility for the Maritimes and Moncton became the headquarters for CNR's Maritime division.^[6] Canadian Government Railways (CGR) was the descriptive name used between 1915_1918 for all federal government-owned railways in Canada. ...

As the city grew, it began to draw on its hinterland for population growth. Much of the surrounding countryside to the east and the north of the city was (and is) inhabited primarily by French-Acadians who were descendants of the refugees that had returned to the region following the deportation of 1755.^[17] The influx of Francophone Acadians seeking employment beginning in the early 1900s would result in a major demographic and cultural shift for the community.

Moncton continued to develop as a regional distribution and transportation hub during the Second World War. The Royal Canadian Air Force established two air bases in the area as part of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The Canadian Army also built a large military supply base (CFB Moncton) along the railway mainline near the CNR shops facilities northwest of downtown.

Railway employment in Moncton at the height of the steam locomotive era (circa 1950) peaked at about six thousand workers before starting a long slow decline. This decline occurred because the newer diesel locomotives and longer trains that were introduced in the early 1950s required fewer employees for operation and for maintenance. Some of this employment loss was offset by the construction of a large railway hump yard by the CNR in the city's west end. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Moncton was placed on the Trans-Canada Highway network in the early 1960s after Route 2 was built along the northern perimeter of the city. Subsequent development saw Route 15 built between the city and nearby Parlee Beach at Shediac. At the same time, the Petitcodiac River Causeway was constructed.^[6] For the Boards of Canada record, see Trans Canada Highway (EP). ...

The Université de Moncton was founded in 1963.^[21] This began an Acadian "renaissance", which was in large measure encouraged and supported by university faculty who had been trained in Quebec during the founding years of the "Quiet Revolution". U de M, the renaissance, and the election of premier Louis Robichaud and his program of "equal opportunity" all led to increasing demands by the Francophone populace for municipal services in French and led to tension between the Acadian minority and the Anglophone majority during the latter part of the 1960s and early 1970s. The Université de Moncton is a French language university in Moncton, New Brunswick serving the Acadian community of Atlantic Canada. ...

The Acadian population began to become more prosperous and influential during the 1980s as linguistic tensions began to relax (although not disappearing entirely). The Anglophone population of the city generally began to accept the principle of bilingualism and enrollment in French Immersion classes in public schools became popular. Bilingualism would ultimately become one of the strengths of the community. French immersion is a form of bilingual education in which a child who does not speak French as his or her first language receives instruction in school in French. ...

The CNR repair shops were the largest employer in Moncton until they were dismantled in the late 1980s.

The late 1970s and the 1980s again saw a period of economic hardship hit the city as several major employers closed or restructured. The Eatons catalogue division closed in 1976 and CN closed its locomotive shops facility in 1988,^[22] throwing thousands out of work and forcing the federal and provincial governments to step in with economic restructuring packages to help in diversifying the Moncton economy. CFB Moncton was also closed at about this time due to defence cutbacks resulting from the end of the Cold War.^[23] Moncton was so despondent by the late 1980s that the city's promotional slogan became simply Moncton - We're OK.^[24] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Diversification in the early 1990s saw the rise of information technology, led by call centres which made use of the city's bilingual workforce.^[6] Bilingualism was heavily promoted by premier Frank McKenna's government to attract the call centre industry to provide a temporary employment "bridge" for the city as it transitioned from the old economy to a more modern one. By the late 1990s, retail, manufacturing and service expansion began to occur in all sectors and within a decade of the closure of the CN locomotive shops, Moncton had more than made up for its employment losses. This dramatic turnaround in the fortunes of the city has been termed the "Moncton Miracle".^[25] Information and communication technology spending in 2005 Information technology (IT), as defined by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), is the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware. ...

The growth of the community has continued unabated since the 1990s and in fact has been accelerating. The confidence of the city has been bolstered by its ability to host major events such as the Francophonie Summit in 1999.^[26] Recent positive developments include the Atlantic Baptist University relocating to a new campus in 1996 and achieving full university status, the Greater Moncton Airport opening a new terminal building and becoming a designated international airport in 2002,^[27] and the opening of the new Gunningsville Bridge to Riverview in 2005.^[28] Motto Égalité, Complémentarité, Solidarité Members and participants of La Francophonie. ...

Language and demographics

Moncton is a growing city. This is highlighted by the constant construction of new properties, including the new Marriott hotel in the downtown core of the city, slated for completion in 2008.

Moncton's linguistic majority is English, however the city has an active French-speaking Acadian minority population (30%), many of whom speak the Chiac variant of Acadian French.^[30] The adjacent city of Dieppe is about 80% Francophone and has benefited from an ongoing rural depopulation of the Acadian Peninsula and areas in northern and eastern New Brunswick.^[31] The town of Riverview meanwhile is heavily (95%) Anglophone.^[32] The different linguistic characteristics of the three communities have defeated several attempts at metropolitan amalgamation.

Historically, the population of the city has been racially homogenous with almost all residents originating from northwestern Europe (United Kingdom, France and Ireland). The population has been becoming more diverse over the course of the past couple of decades but it still remains a challenge to attract visible minorities as new immigrants to the city. Inmigration is mostly from other areas of New Brunswick (especially the north) as well as Nova Scotia (13%) and Ontario (9%). Overall, 62% of new arrivals to the city are Anglophone and 38% are Francophone (Census 2001).^[33]

About 40% of the metropolitan population of Moncton is bilingual, (the remainder being mostly unilingual Anglophone). The only other cities in Canada that approach this level of linguistic duality are Ottawa and Montreal.

The educational and health care sectors are major factors in the local economy; the two hospitals alone employing over five thousand people. Despite this, the underpinnings of the local economy remain based on Moncton's commercial, distribution, transportation and retailing heritage.

This is the largest catchment area in Atlantic Canada.^[34] In 2002 Moncton and Halifax joined to promote the concept of a Moncton-Halifax growth corridor, building on the strengths of the two cities as well as those of the intervening communities including Truro, Amherst and Sackville.^[35] Moncton has garnered national attention because of the strength of its economy.

Tourism

Historically, the tourism industry in Moncton owes its origins to the presence of two natural attractions; the tidal bore of the Petitcodiac River and the optical illusion of Magnetic Hill. The tidal bore in Upper Cook Inlet, Alaska A tidal bore (or just bore, or eagre) is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave (or waves) of water that travel up a river or narrow bay against the direction of the current. ... The Petitcodiac River is located in southeastern New Brunswick,Canada, originating in the Caledonia Highlands and eventually courses through the city of Moncton before emptying into Shepody Bay on the Bay of Fundy. ... The Magnetic Hill is an example of the gravity hill type of optical illusion created by rising and descending terrain. ...

The tidal bore would sometimes rise to over one meter (3.2 ft) before the causeway was built in 1968

The Petitcodiac River exhibits one of North America's few tidal bores, a regularly occurring wave that travels up the river on the leading edge of the incoming tide, and hence a tidal wave in the truest sense of the term. The bore is as a result of the extreme tides of the Bay of Fundy. Originally, the bore was very impressive, sometimes between one and two metres (3.2–6.4 ft) in height and extending across the kilometre (.62 mi) width of the Petitcodiac River in the Moncton area. This wave would occur twice a day at the incoming of the high tide, travelling at an average speed of 13 km/h (8 mph) and could produce quite an audible roar. Seagulls would flock to the river at the coming of the tide to feed. Not surprisingly, a local tourism industry sprang up around the spectacle.^[61] Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...

Seagull or Seagulls may refer to: Gull, a family of seabird, members of which are often called seagulls. ...

In 1968, a causeway was built to Riverview, across the Petitcodiac just upstream from downtown Moncton. The river channel quickly silted in due to the high sediment burden in the water column. The channel at the bend is now no more than 100 metres (328 ft) wide and the bore rarely exceeds 15-20 cm in height. Not surprisingly, the "bore" is now an object of derision and is not nearly the tourism generator it once was. Still, seeing the arrival of the bore remains an educational experience and Bore View Park and the adjacent Riverfront Trail provide a pleasant distraction.^[61] The Hindenburgdamm rail causeway across the Wadden Sea to the island of Sylt in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany In modern usage, a causeway is a road or railway elevated by a bank, usually across a broad body of water or wetland. ...

Magnetic Hill is on the northwestern outskirts of Moncton and is now the city's most famous attraction. It is a gravity hill form of optical illusion, where the local topography gives the impression that you are going uphill when in fact you are going downhill. In the early 1930s, it was discovered that on a particular stretch of road near the foot of the hill, that if you put your car in neutral gear, you would seem to coast uphill. Before long, a tourism industry sprang up around the phenomenon.^[62] The Magnetic Hill is an example of the gravity hill type of optical illusion created by rising and descending terrain. ... Magnetic Hill in Ladakh, India A gravity hill, also known as a magnetic hill (and sometimes a mystery hill or a gravity road), is a place where the layout of the surrounding land produces the optical illusion that a very slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope. ...

The "Magnetic Hill Illusion" remains a popular tourism draw and the city and province have built a major tourism development on the surrounding properties to capitalize on this. The complex includes:
